7.62×42mm
The PSS silent pistol or MSS "Vul" ("Вул") is a Soviet silent pistol operating on a sealed cartridge system. Operation Cartridge The PSS uses a specially developed 7.62×41 mm necked round SP-4 (СП-4), also used by the OTs-38 Stechkin silent revolver. The cartridge contains a propelling charge which drives an internal piston in contact with the base of the bullet. On firing, the piston propels the bullet out of the barrel with enough energy to achieve an effective range of 25 meters. At the end of its travel, the piston seals the cartridge neck, preventing noise, smoke, or blast from escaping. Action The PSS is recoil-operated. It has a slide designed to operate silently, in keeping with the pistol's design for silent operation. In other respects, the PSS generally follows traditional conventions, except for the slide's guide rod, which is located above the barrel and instead of guide rails on the pistol frame. The weapon uses a special cartridge with an in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

OTs-38 Stechkin Silent Revolver
The OTs-38 Stechkin is a 5-shot, double-action revolver, in production and service since 2002, chambered in the silent 7.62×41mm SP-4 cartridge. Design The effective range of fire for the OTs-38 Stechkin is 50 m. The fired cases are kept in the cylinder, thus eliminating the sound of ejecting cases. The cartridge employs a captive piston, creating a gas seal, so there is no flash or loud report upon discharge. As the cartridge is rimless, the cylinder is fed via full moon clips. The SP-4 cartridges emit no report or flame because the propellant gases are retained in the case. The OTs-38 revolver is claimed to be effectively silent, as the sound level of the live and dry firing is practically identical. S&W QSPR This system is virtually identical to that employed by the Quiet Special Purpose Revolver (QSPR) a variant of the commercially available Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum revolvers, rebuilt to fire specially manufactured dedicated integrally silenced ammunition.

History It was manufactured by the Tula Arms Plant for Soviet ''Spetsnaz'' troops in the 1980s, and is still used as a personal weapon for modern ''Spetsnaz'' troops and special law enforcement groups. Design The NRS-2 is designed for either stabbing or throwing with the blade, or fired at distances of up to 25 metres. Shooting mechanism To load the shooting mechanism, the opening lever is pressed, and the barrel rotated out of the knife handle.

MSP Groza Silent Pistol
The MSP Groza silent pistol () is an over and under, double-barrel, derringer-type firearm designed in the Soviet Union in 1972. History The weapon was used operationally in Afghanistan and in Central America during the Cold War. An FMLN supplied MSP is believed to have been the weapon used to assassinate Contras leader Enrique Bermúdez. It is no longer in production, having been superseded by more modern designs. Design The Groza uses a specialised cartridge. When fired, an internal piston within the cartridge launches the bullet forward and retains all the gases within the case, thus making a near silent weapon with almost no flash. To load the weapon the user would depress a button, allowing the barrels to tilt forward and exposing the breech for manual loading either by individual cartridge or with the use of a disposable 2-round clip. The firearm is chambered for the silent 7.62×38 SP-3 cartridge which can be loaded via a two-round clip. The weapon was designed at ...
